I was able to reproduce this on my system. First this is the error that happens 
when installing. This is what crashes Nala because of the formatter.

```
Traceback (most recent call last): 
 File "/usr/bin/debreate", line 230, in <module> 
   main() 
 File "/usr/bin/debreate", line 27, in main 
   import globals.paths 
 File "/usr/share/debreate/globals/paths.py", line 16, in <module> 
   import libdbr.paths 
 File "/usr/share/debreate/lib/libdbr/paths.py", line 18, in <module> 
   from . import sysinfo 
 File "/usr/share/debreate/lib/libdbr/sysinfo.py", line 37, in <module> 
   if not __os_name: 
          ^^^^^^^^^ 
NameError: name '__os_name' is not defined
```

This portion happens with apt as well, although apt doesn't crash. If you use 
--raw-dpkg switch with Nala it will complete. I have already fixed this crash 
upstream but haven't released yet.

I would say you should likely report this to the debreate devs, even getting 
the install to complete with apt, the same error is thrown when I try to run 
the program.
